MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Georgia College
men’s tennis player Johan Wadstein (Helsingborg,
Sweden) has been named Georgia College Athlete of the Week
as announced by the sports information office Wednesday
afternoon.

The recognition comes just a day after being tabbed Peach Belt
Conference (PBC) Men’s Tennis Player of the Week.

Wadstein was a perfect 6-0 in his matches this week, as the
Bobcats defeated three nationally-ranked opponents to clinch a
berth in the PBC Tournament.

Competing at the second singles position, Wadstein beat Mateus
Camasmine of No. 25 North Georgia, Henrique Boturao of No. 12
Augusta State University and Patrick Steibinger of No. 33 USC
Aiken.

The junior would also pair with Jerome Leborgne
(Coordimanche, France) at the top doubles spot to win
their trio of matches, including a win over USC Aiken’s No.
24 Stiebinger and Nathan Berlyn.

Wadstein currently boasts a 12-5 singles record, as well as a
12-5 doubles record with teammate Leborgne.

The Bobcat men, who grabbed the five-seed, will take on
four-seed Francis Marion University in the first-round of the PBC
Tournament Friday, April 20 at 5 p.m.
